After a while, Suiyu returned defeated.
He reported to Zhu Sijia: "That couple is not willing to accept your money."
Zhu Sijia sighed: "If they don't want to, then we won't bother them more, so as not to make them even more sad."
Suiyu: "They refused to accept it, so my subordinates secretly stuffed the banknotes into the old lady's sleeves. They would definitely find it when they got home."
Zhu Sijia looked at Suiyu seriously and suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a smart person. I looked down on you before."
Suiyu slowly pushed the car door open for her without saying anything more.
After returning to the palace, while Yan Xiu had not returned to the palace while he was in Taixue, Zhu Sijia summoned Suiyu into the main hall and retreated to the left and right.
She asked Suiyu: "Tell me everything you know about King Mu."
After Suiyu carefully revealed it to her, Zhu Sijia still couldn't find any useful information for her.
The life histories of Yuan Xi and Zhu Yu are both difficult to figure out, but what she can be sure of now is that Zhu Yu must be related to the Zhang family, and Yuan Xi... may be closely related to King Mu.
If Yuan Xi's bloodline was impure, Aunt Yun would be worried all day long, for fear of being discovered and losing her current glory and wealth. But once Yuan Xi died, she would still be the concubine of Prince Yan's palace and sit back and relax.
This reason seems reasonable.
Suiyu asked her confusedly: "If you want to know more, my subordinates can contact Yanxuelou's personnel buried in Jiangdong and ask them to pay more attention."
Zhu Sijia: "But you have been expelled from Yanxue Tower by His Majesty. If you contact them rashly, sooner or later they will suspect me, and His Majesty will also know about this."
Let Yan Xiu know that she was secretly searching for information about a vassal king who was beyond his reach, and she didn't even know what excuses to make up to fool him.
Broken Yu: "My Lady, there is no need to worry. Business matters are public matters, personal relationships are private relationships, and most of the dragon guards are not emotionless. I have my own way to let Jiangdong's close friends pay attention to King Mu's actions for me, and your Majesty does not You will be doubted."
Zhu Sijia: "What can you do?"
Suiyu: "This subordinate can investigate his life experience and entrust his close friends to help him."
After all, he himself didn't know his origins, so he made up a random life experience that was remotely related to King Mu. Considering the friendship that had lasted for so many years, the people in Jiangdong would naturally not reject it.
I wish Scarlett happy: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."
It is not appropriate for Zaiyu to stay in her palace for a long time. When he turned to leave, Zhu Sijia stopped him again: "Ziyu, if you want to do something for me that is beyond your knowledge in the future, will you feel weird..."
"I don't know how to do it." Broiyu handed over his hand, "If there is nothing else to explain, I will resign."
Zhu Sijia looked at his leaving figure and murmured: "I hope that day will never come."
After all, she was ready to accompany Yan Xiu throughout his life, unless hindered by external forces.
…
On the Double Ninth Festival, the eldest princess's mansion prepared a chrysanthemum appreciation feast and a crab tasting feast. This time Yan Xiu finally had time to visit her mansion.
I heard that the autumn crabs in the eldest princess's mansion were brought back to her by Yuan Haoyu on his way back from Qi. The crabs spoiled very quickly and were difficult to preserve. They even arrived in Xijing earlier than the captured royal family of Qi.
Zhu Sijia prepared some gifts and prepared to take her into the princess's mansion. When Yan Xiu came to Changle Palace to pick her up in the carriage, there seemed to be something lingering in his eyebrows.
She asked Yan Xiu: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Yan Xiu: "Nothing, I received a letter from your brother. In the letter, he mentioned that except Princess Jiang Yuan of Qi State, all the others were brought back to Xijing by Yuan Haoyu. Jiang Yuan stayed in Langya and was guarded by him personally. "
Zhu Sijia: "Princess Jiang Yuan? I have heard good things about her appearance, but why did Marquis Wuxing leave her alone in Qi?"
"I have to ask your brother. How can you not be tempted by a beauty by your side?" Once the carriage door was closed, the two of them no longer had to pay attention to any etiquette. Yan Xiu pulled her into his arms and tried to lift his hands:
"He wrote that Jiang Yuan committed suicide and was stopped by him. She was severely injured and could only temporarily stay in Qi to recuperate. She was unable to go to Qin with others. He asked me not to mind."
For such a trivial matter, how could a yellow-haired girl whose country was destroyed by him stay here and turn the world upside down? He had no reason to care.
Zhu Sijia curiously asked about another thing: "Hey, I swear to God it's not because of my greed. I'm just curious, if General Yuan got crab, why didn't he send it to the palace first, but to the eldest sister's house first?" "
As soon as she asked the question, she was caught off guard by Yan Xiu's kiss. It wasn't until he was completely satisfied that he let go of Zhu Sijia: "Tsk, this little greedy cat Cicada used to live in the North, so naturally she doesn't know the inside story."
"Please, I'll be kind enough to reveal something to you."
Zhu Scarlett said without hesitation: "I beg you."
Yan Xiu was satisfied: "If I hadn't told you, you might not have been able to tell that the imperial sister was a woman who had been on the battlefield. Have you ever heard of the reputation of General Guangwu?"
Zhu Sijia thought for a while and said: "Is that the general who died young and was loyal to the country? It seems...it seems that General Yuan's master is him."
Yan Xiu: "Yes, General Guangwu is Yuan Haoyu's personal master. Yuan Haoyu inherits his mantle, and the eldest sister is the famous General Guangwu."
Zhu Sijia thought of an even more unbelievable aspect: "In other words - General Yuan, his relationship with the eldest sister is not just a master-disciple relationship."
Yan Xiu: "Cicada is really smart, but the boy from the Yuan family is too immature compared to the eldest sister. Things in this world do not always go as planned, nor can they be obtained by force."
Yeah? Maybe Yuan Haoyu still has a chance.
Zhu Sijia did not say these words in her heart.
I don’t know what it will be like if I meet Marquis Guangping again at today’s banquet.
Unexpectedly, after sitting down at the banquet for a long time, the figure of Marquis Guangping was not seen.
Yan Xiu looked at Zhaohua and asked in a low voice: "Why doesn't the prince-in-law show up for so long?"
It was really outrageous for the Marquis of Guangping to let Zhaohua entertain the guests alone for so long. Even he, the emperor, was present, so why should he wait for his late arrival?
Zhaohua said helplessly: "He heard that today's meal of crabs was brought by a boy from the Yuan family. He didn't want to join the banquet, so he went out to patrol the city."
Yan Xiu didn't react much.
At this time Huaijin said again: "Dad is always running away during this time, and he hasn't gone to the study to check my homework for a long time."
Zhaohua touched Huaijin's little head: "Your father is busy with official duties. Even if he can't keep an eye on you all day long, you should consciously study hard so as not to make the master angry when you go to the palace to study next year."
Busy with work?
Yan Xiu knew very well about the position of Marquis Guangping. It was just a casual position. He visited Xijing every three days, so why should he be busy?
He still showed no emotion, but judging from his slightly lowered eyelashes, Zhu Sijia knew that he was already suspicious.
After the eldest princess took off her military uniform and pretended to die, she rarely asked about outside affairs. She focused on Marquis Guangping and his two children, hoping that she might discover the anomaly of Marquis Guangping on her own, so that she might be able to survive in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
If Yan Xiu intervened - it would be different.
A fat crab with its shell removed was suddenly pushed in front of Zhu Sijia, interrupting her thoughts.
